One year ago, we launched the Atlas of Surveillance. It’s the largest public database of known police surveillance technologies that have been used across the country. Check it out: atlasofsurveillance.org
Have you used the Atlas of Surveillance to look up what surveillance tech police in your area are using?
Do local police have Real-Time Crime Centers? Face Recognition? Cell-site simulators? Find out at atlasofsurveillance.org!
There has been an alarming increase in the use of unchecked high-tech tools that cops use to collect biometric records, photos, and videos of people in their communities, locate and track them via their cell phones, and purport to predict where crimes will be committed. 
Atlas contains a massive amount of data, but its content is only the tip of the iceberg. Journalists and the public must continue demanding transparency from criminal justice agencies.
If you know of new surveillance tech at a police department near you, ping us with details.

The Atlas was awarded a James Madison Freedom of Information Award last year, recognizing its contribution to advancing freedom of information and expression in the spirit of James Madison, the creative force behind the First Amendment. eff.org/press/releases…
After one year, the Atlas has more than 7000 data points on police surveillance used across the US. It’s thanks to our partners at @RSJNevada and funding from @craignewmark Philanthropies for EFF’s Threat Lab that we are able to do this important work. Visit the Atlas today!
